Section 2.4 Title to Real Property and Survey. At Closing, Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Real Property to Purchaser by special warranty deed (the “Deed”), subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. The legal description of the Real Property to be contained in the Deed shall be the same legal description as is attached hereto in the applicable subsection of Schedule 1.1(b). In the event the legal description as disclosed by the Survey, as defined in Section 5.4(a), differs from the legal description in the applicable subsection of Schedule 1.1(b), or the Initial Commitment reveals any errors or omissions in the legal descriptions, then Seller shall also
8
provide a quitclaim deed (or other appropriate recordable instrument) utilizing such Survey legal description.
(a) Purchaser shall promptly order from Xxxxxxx Title Guaranty Company (the “Title Company”), an ALTA Form 2006 Commitment (or such other form as is acceptable to Purchaser), with such endorsements as Purchaser shall reasonably require and with insurance coverage over any “gap” period (the “Initial Commitment”) for an owner’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) in an amount no less than the Purchase Price allocated to the Real Property. The Initial Commitment shall evidence that Seller is vested with fee simple title to the Real Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications whatsoever save and except for those exceptions specified and shown on Schedule B, Section II of the Initial Commitment (the “Title Exceptions”). The Initial Commitment shall also evidence that upon the execution, delivery and recordation of the deeds to be delivered at Closing and the satisfaction of all requirements specified in Schedule B, Section I of the Initial Commitment, Purchaser shall acquire fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Title Exceptions. The cost of the Title Policy shall be at Seller’s expense, however, any costs associated with endorsements shall be at the sole expense of Purchaser (other than any endorsements obtained by Seller to cure a Title Defect, which shall be the sole expense of Seller).
(b) If Purchaser or its attorneys shall determine that the Initial Commitment does not meet the requirements specified above, that the Title Exceptions are not acceptable to Purchaser, or that title to the Real Property is unsatisfactory to Purchaser for reasons other than the existence of Title Exceptions, then Purchaser shall notify Seller by the end of the Due Diligence Period (as herein defined) of those Title Exceptions which are unsatisfactory to Purchaser and are not contemplated by this Agreement to be discharged by Seller at or before Closing, and any such liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications shall be hereinafter referred to as “Title Defects.” Any Title Exceptions which are not timely declared as Title Defects are referred to herein as “Permitted Title Exceptions”.
(c) Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, may order an update to the survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”) previously provided to Purchaser and Seller hereby grants Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents the right to access the Real Property as may be reasonably required to perform such work. The Survey shall be prepared by a land surveyor duly licensed and registered as such in the state the Real Property is located, (i) shall be certified by such surveyor to Purchaser, Seller, each parties’ legal counsel and the Title Company, (ii) shall reference the Initial Commitment file number, (iii) shall set forth the legal description of the Real Property precisely as it appears in the Initial Commitment (or the Initial Commitment must be endorsed so that the insured legal description mirrors the legal description in the Survey, if applicable), (iv) shall identify whether or not each Title Exception referenced in the Initial Commitment applies to the Real Property, (v) shall depict the boundaries of each such item that is capable of being depicted on the Survey, (v) shall depict any Improvements located upon the Real Property, (vi) shall show all easements, rights-of-way, setback lines, encroachments and other matters affecting the use or development of the Real Property (vii) shall include the original signature and seal of the surveyor, and (viii) shall be in a form satisfactory to the Title Company to eliminate the standard survey exceptions from the title insurance policy to be issued at Closing. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing by the end of the Due Diligence
9
Period or within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Survey, whichever is earlier, of any matters shown on the Survey which were not set forth on the survey previously delivered to Purchaser and which adversely affect, in Purchaser’s reasonable determination, the title to the Real Property and the same shall thereupon be deemed to be Title Defects hereunder. Failure to timely notify Seller of such Title Defects shall mean that Purchaser is satisfied with the matters shown in the Survey.
(d) Within five (5) business days of receipt from Purchaser of a written notice of any Title Defects, together with a copy thereof, Seller shall notify Purchaser as to whether it will cure such objection, and if it elects to cure any such objection, it shall in good faith diligently endeavor to satisfy or correct, at Seller’s expense, such objection on or before the Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and the Title Company in such manner to permit the Title Company to either endorse the Initial Commitment or to issue a replacement commitment to eliminate the Title Defect therefrom. Failure of Seller to give such notice within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be an election not to cure such objection. In the event Seller does not elect to satisfy or cure any objection of which it is notified, then within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of Seller’s election, or within five (5) business days after the expiration of Seller’s five (5) business day notification period if Seller fails to give any such notice, Purchaser shall by written notice to Seller elect one of the following:
(i) to accept Seller’s interest in the Purchased Property subject to such Title Defects, in which event such Title Defect shall become part of the Permitted Title Exceptions, and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or
(ii) to terminate this Agreement in its entirety and receive a refund of the Deposit.
The failure of Purchaser to give written notice of its election to either accept the Purchased Property subject to such objections or to terminate this Agreement within the applicable five (5) day period shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement and to receive a refund of the Deposit.
(e) In the event Seller elects in writing to cure any Title Defect and thereafter is unable, after acting diligently and in good faith, to effect such cure, on or before the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall have, as its sole remedy, the options described in Section 2.4(d) above. Seller shall have no obligation under this Section 2.4(e) to expend monies or to institute litigation to cure Title Defects except those which may be satisfied solely by the payment of money prior to or at Closing.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) pay in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise bond and discharge as liens against the Purchased Property all mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s, contractors’ or other similar Liens which encumber the Purchased Property as of the date hereof created by, through or under Seller or which may be filed against the Purchased Property after the date hereof created by, through or under Seller and on or prior to the Closing Date (ii) pay in full all past due ad valorem taxes and assessments of any kind constituting a lien against the Purchased Property which are due and payable, and (iii) pay in full or cause to be canceled and discharged all security deeds or other security instruments encumbering the Purchased
10
Property and all judgments which have attached to and become a lien against the Purchased Property by, through or under the acts or omissions of Seller. In the event Seller fails to cause such liens and encumbrances to be paid and canceled at or prior to Closing and Purchaser has given written notice to Seller of such liens and encumbrances and such liens and encumbrances are not disputed by Seller in good faith, Purchaser shall be entitled to pay such reasonable amount to the holder thereof as may be required to pay and cancel same, and to credit against the Purchase Price the amount so paid; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in excess of $100,000 pursuant to this Section 2.4(f).
(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(g), Seller has not granted any license which cannot be terminated as of the Closing Date, lease, easement or other possessory right relating to the use or possession of the Real Property (except (i) under the Residency Agreements existing as of the Effective Date and entered into by Seller in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof; or (ii) as may be set forth in the Title Commitment), and Seller agrees that, other than as expressly permitted by Section 4.2 hereof, it shall not grant any such right prior to Closing without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.
Section 2.5 Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume and agrees to pay, perform or discharge only the Assumed Liabilities. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not assume any of Seller’s debts, obligations or liabilities, of any kind or nature, including without limitation any civil claims or other legal proceedings or legal or regulatory investigations or actions arising out of or during Seller’s ownership, use, operation or management of the Business or any of the Purchased Property or the Excluded Property, all of which Seller shall pay, perform and discharge when due. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to preclude either party from contesting any liability or obligation in good faith through the appropriate process.
Section 2.6 Excluded Liabilities. All of Seller’s debts, obligations and liabilities, other than the Assumed Liabilities, including any liability, obligation, claim, action, suit, or proceeding pending as of the Closing Date, or any subsequent claim, action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to any such other event occurring prior to the Closing, with respect to the ownership or operation of its businesses prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any obligation of Seller for compliance with applicable federal, state, county, and local tax laws or regulations, including the obligations under such laws for the payment of taxes and the filing of tax returns, under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the IRC, as amended (commonly known as “COBRA”), the Seller Plans, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or state worker’s compensation and unemployment compensation laws, as now or hereafter amended, and any liabilities related to any overpayment (regardless of reason for such overpayment), adjustment of payments received or non-compliance under any Government Program, are collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Liabilities;” provided, however, that actions commenced following the Closing under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et. seq. or similar

Section 8.3 Indemnification Limits; Survival.
(l) Purchaser Indemnification Limits; Survival. Purchaser shall not be entitled to any indemnification from Seller under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable claims of Purchaser under this Agreement exceeds Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($50,000) (the “Seller Threshold”), at which point Seller shall be liable for all indemnifiable claims of Purchaser under Section 8.1(a) and Section 8.1(b). Seller’s liability for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) and Section 8.1(b) shall not in any case exceed two percent (2.0%) of the total Purchase Price (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that neither the Seller Threshold nor the Indemnification Cap shall apply in the case of: (i) fraud on the part of Seller (which for purposes of clarification will require a finding of actual intent to defraud as opposed to recklessness); (ii) any claims arising under Section 8.1(a) with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1, Section 6.2, Section 6.3(a), Section 6.5, Section 6.17, or Section 6.18, each of which shall be limited to the Purchase Price; or (iii) any claims arising under Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d), or Section 8.1(e).

Purchaser’s right to make any claim for indemnification against Seller under Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b) and Section 8.1(d) shall expire at the end of the twelfth (12th) month following the Closing; provided, however, that any claim for which Purchaser has given written notice prior to expiration of such twelve (12) month anniversary shall survive until finally adjudicated; and further provided that Purchaser’s right to make any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(c) shall not expire and any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(e) shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations period for collection of the applicable tax.
(m) Seller Indemnification Limits; Survival. Seller shall not be entitled to any indemnification from Purchaser under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable claims of Seller under this Agreement, exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($25,000) (the “Purchaser Threshold”), at which point Purchaser shall be liable for all indemnifiable claims of Seller under Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b). Purchaser’s liability for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b) shall not in any case exceed two percent (2.0%) of the total Purchase Price (the “Purchaser Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that neither the Purchaser Threshold nor the Purchaser Indemnification Cap shall apply in the case of: (i) fraud on the part of Purchaser; (ii) any claims arising under Section 8.2(a) with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.1, Section 7.2, and Section 7.6 (which shall be limited to the Purchase Price); or (iii) any claims arising under Section 8.2(c).

(n) For purposes of determining the amount of Losses that are subject to indemnification hereunder with respect to any events, facts or circumstances, after determining whether or not such facts, events or circumstances give rise to a breach of a representation or warranty (after giving full effect to any qualifications as to materiality or similar standards, or of lack of “material adverse effect,” contained in such representation and warranty), except for breaches under Section 6.14 (Financial Statements), the determination of the amount of Losses for such breach of representation and warranty, as it relates to such facts, events or circumstances, shall be made without giving effect to any qualifications as to materiality or similar standards, or the lack of “material adverse effect” contained in such representation or warranty.
(o) Any payments made pursuant to ARTICLE 8 of this Agreement shall be treated as a purchase price adjustment for income tax purposes.
Section 8.4 Procedures Regarding Third Party Claims. The procedures to be followed by Purchaser and Seller with respect to indemnification hereunder regarding claims by third parties shall be as follows:
(a) Promptly after receipt by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding or the assertion of any claim by any person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”), which the party receiving such notice has reason to believe may result in a claim by it for indemnity pursuant to this Agreement, such Person(the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice of such action, proceeding or claim to the party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such action or claim, including copies of any written correspondence from such third person to such Indemnified Party.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to assume and control such defense with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense after such assumption at the Indemnified Party’s own expense. Upon assuming such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall
41
have full rights to enter into any monetary compromise or settlement which is dispositive of the matters involved; provided that such settlement is paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and will not have any continuing material adverse effect upon the Indemnified Party.
(c) With respect to any action, proceeding or claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not have exercised its right to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party may assume and control the defense of and contest such action, proceeding or claim with counsel chosen by it. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, the cost of such participation to be at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to the extent that such fees and expenses relate to claims as to which indemnification is due under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, as the case may be. The Indemnified Party shall have full rights to dispose of such action and enter into any monetary compromise or settlement; provided, however, in the event that the Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any claims involved in the action insofar as they relate to, or arise out of, the same facts as gave rise to any claim for which indemnification is due under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, as the case may be, it shall act reasonably and in good faith in doing so.
(d) Both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with one another in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any such claim, proceeding or action, including, without limitation, by making available to the other all pertinent information and witnesses within its control.
Section 8.5 Procedures Regarding Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim (provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may also give the Escrow Agent notice of such Direct Claim prior to the Indemnifying Party’s response). The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such
42
claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the payment of such Direct Claim in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 8.6 General Qualifications on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the indemnification rights set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall be subject to the following:
(a) The liability of an Indemnifying Party with respect to any indemnification claim shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit actually realized or any insurance proceeds received by Indemnified Party as a result of any damages, upon which such claim is based, and shall include any tax detriment actually suffered by the Indemnified Party as a result of such damages. The amount of such tax benefit or detriment shall be determined by taking into account the effect, if any, and to the extent determinable, of timing differences resulting from the acceleration or deferral of items of gain or loss resulting from such damages.
(b) Damages shall only include actual damages and shall not include any special, punitive, multiplied or consequential damages, lost profits or diminution in value, except to the extent the same are included in a third-party judgment against the Indemnified Party.
(c) Upon payment in full of any indemnification claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any person or entity with respect to the subject matter of such indemnification claim.
(d) An Indemnified Party may not recover for any losses otherwise indemnifiable under Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b), Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) if such Indemnified Party had actual (and not imputed) knowledge prior to Closing of the breach, inaccuracy or failure giving rise to such losses.
(e) An Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its duty to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder if and to the extent the Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to mitigate its damages, including, but not limited to, failure to give timely notice to its insurance carriers and to pursue recovery under applicable policies of insurance.
(f) Any amounts due to Purchaser from Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 shall be paid first from the Holdback Amount in accordance with the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, until the Holdback Amount has been exhausted or released.

Seller covenants to execute such assignments, drafts and other instruments as may be required to effectuate this section.
Section 10.13 Attorneys’ Fees.

The provisions of this Section 10.14 shall survive Closing.
